My Scared Mate Chapter 10: Skye
After Jayleen's departure, I sank onto the stool behind the counter, my heart pounding in my chest. His words echoed in my mind, over and over again, like a broken record. Mate. The term felt foreign, strange. I couldn't wrap my head around it, and frankly, I wasn't sure if I wanted to. My world had already been turned upside down when I found out about my father and my mother's tragic fate, but now... Now, it felt like I was being swept up in a storm, one that I had no control over. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Heather, her face filled with concern. "Skye, are you okay?" I managed a small smile. "Yeah, just... a lot on my mind." Heather's eyes softened. "Is it about Jayleen?" I sighed, resting my chin in my hands. "Yeah... He told me something. Something I... I don't know how to handle." Heather sat down next to me, her hand warm and comforting on my arm. "He told you about mates, didn't he?" My eyes widened. "You know?" Heather chuckle
My Scared Mate Chapter 11: Jayleen
As I left her apartment that night, my heart ached in a way it never had before. I could still see the fear in her eyes, the confusion. I knew she didn't understand any of this, and I couldn't blame her. It was a lot to take in. It was a lot even for someone born and raised in this world, let alone a young woman who had been raised in the human world, oblivious to her true heritage. The night air was cool as I walked back towards the pack house, my mind racing. I had to protect her, there was no question about it. But how was I going to do that when she was so afraid, so reluctant to let me in? As an Alpha, I was used to commanding respect, to having my orders followed without question. But Skye... She wasn't a pack member, she wasn't a werewolf. She was a human, with a human's fears and a human's understanding of the world. And she had been hurt before, I could see it in her eyes. She was wary, scared to trust again. And I couldn't blame her for that either. When I reached the pack
My Scared Mate Chapter 12: Skye
The next day at the cafe felt like every other. Except for the undercurrent of anxiety pulsating through me with every beat of my heart. A part of me was curious about Jayleen's revelation about Kain, my father. It was terrifying to think about my own parent as the monster Jayleen painted him to be, and yet, I was oddly relieved to finally know something about my past. During the mid-afternoon lull, Heather came to sit with me. "You okay, Skye?" she asked, her eyes filled with genuine concern. She always had a way of knowing when something was bothering me. "It's a lot, isn't it?" she continued, not waiting for me to answer. She was right. It was a lot. My whole life seemed to be unraveling around me and I didn't know how to make it stop. I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. I had so many questions, so many thoughts running through my mind, I didn't know where to begin. "Jayleen...he told me about Kain," I started, my voice barely above a whisper. Heather's eyes widened, but
My Scared Mate Chapter 13: Skye
Waking up the next morning felt strange. The apartment was too quiet, too still. I lay in my bed, the early morning sunlight piercing through the curtains and casting a warm glow around the room. It was too peaceful, a stark contrast to the storm of emotions swirling inside me. The conversation with Heather the night before had left me drained and filled with an aching emptiness. Talking about the past was like reopening old wounds. The fear, the despair, the nights spent crying myself to sleep... it was all coming back. Pulling myself out of bed, I shuffle into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, desperate for something to help clear the cobwebs in my head. As I wait for the coffee to brew, I glance at my reflection in the kitchen window. My strawberry-blonde hair was a tangled mess, my face pale. I looked as exhausted as I felt. The memory of Jayleen's face when he told me about my father and my mother's death was still vivid in my mind. I could still hear the pain in his voice a
My Scared Mate Chapter 14: Kain
Power. It's a heady feeling, to have power. It fills you up, and makes you feel invincible. And my Skye, she's power incarnate. My little girl, with her mother's features and my eyes, she's not just a witch. She's so much more. Anna... Her mother was smart. Too smart. She must have sensed what was coming, what I was becoming. She saw the future, saw the darkness growing within me, and tried to protect Skye from it. She hid our daughter away, masked her scent, suppressed her abilities. But you can't hide power. Not forever. And now, after all these years, Skye's abilities are awakening. All I've done, all the sacrifices, the blood spilt, it was all for this. For Skye. To bring her back to me, to our pack. I can feel it, the pull towards her, growing stronger every day. Jayleen Silver. The thorn in my side. He thinks he's so noble, so righteous. He thinks he can protect Skye from me. But he doesn't know what she's capable of, what she's destined for. He can't understand. He's just a L
My Scared Mate Chapter 15: Kain
I sat in my office, the dim light from the lone lamp barely illuminating the room. My eyes scanned the maps spread out on my table, tracing the borders between my territory and the Silver Creek. My grip tightened around the glass of whiskey in my hand as my mind raced with strategies and possible outcomes. "Sire," a voice broke my concentration, and I turned to see one of my pack members standing by the door. "We have located Skye Jackson. She is indeed in Silver Creek." My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of anticipation and rage. The thought of my daughter being in Jayleen's territory, being under his protection, made my blood boil. I downed the rest of my whiskey, feeling the burn slide down my throat. "Prepare the warriors," I ordered, my voice steady despite the storm brewing within me. "We're paying Silver Creek a visit." The man nodded, quickly retreating to carry out the orders. I stood up, the maps on the table seeming less significant now. My daughter was within my grasp,
My Scared Mate Chapter 16: Jayleen
The weight of responsibility hung heavy on my shoulders. The tension was palpable, not just within my pack, but throughout the town as well. Rumors of Kain's increasing cruelty and madness were spreading, and I could feel a civil war brewing. Despite my own fears, I had to project an image of calm and control to my pack. I had always been their leader, their rock. I couldn't let them see me falter now. We had to be united and strong in the face of what was coming. My thoughts turned to Skye. She was still so new to this world, to this life, and I worried for her. But after our conversation, a part of my mind was at ease. I knew she understood the gravity of the situation, and I knew she would do whatever was necessary to protect herself. And thankfully, I had one of my most trusted warriors watching over her. Still, I couldn't help but wish I could be there for her myself, instead of preparing for war. I missed her. I missed her wit, her determination, her spirit. But most of all, I
My Scared Mate Chapter 17: Jayleen
The meeting room was replaced by the familiarity of the town as I made my way out, the cool evening breeze cutting through the tension that the war planning had wound up in me. I found solace in the quiet streets of our territory, their peacefulness serving as a reminder of what we were fighting for. The pack wasn't just a group of werewolves and their mates. They were a community, a family. There were kids, elders, unmated wolves and humans, all living under the protective umbrella of the Silver Pack. And it was my responsibility to keep them safe. The first house belonged to Luke and Rosie. They had a two-year-old daughter who was just discovering her playful wolf pup side. I smiled as I remembered my own pup days. As I knocked on their door, I put on my most reassuring face. I wasn't there to instill fear; I was there to ensure preparedness. Each conversation had a similar pattern. There was initial shock, then worry. But by the end, there was understanding and a sense of unity.
